I'd wondered how much Germany had profited from its occupations. The US only wound up with a fraction of Iraqi oil contracts after US troops were thrown out, with the rest going to a mix of countries, but in Afghanistan today the US and Europe receive the bulk of the legal opium with the rest (illicit- maybe 50% of total production?) is controlled by Taliban, the Afgh. govt, and US interests in Pakistan and Afghanistan with production having doubled since the invasion and occupation. This shows that even in the kind of chaos you described in occupied Europe (and todays Afghanistan), a more conciliatory attitude towards local French interest (while still maintaining a iron fist) might have been possible. Of course producing airplanes and opium aren't at all the same technically, but if the Germans would have shared the spoils with local power brokers as US leaders have done, they may have harnessed French desire for personal enrichment in the service of German industrial needs. Great vid!

I don't really know, yet, Adam Tooze has numbers on how much "credit" etc. was accumulated due to "credit/loaning scheme", the favorable conversion rates and occupation cost. I assume that is quite different to the situation in Iraq, likely there are other schemes and measures for exploitation now as well. I also assume that corporate interest is more important nowadays as well, which makes everything ever more difficult to measure. thank you!

Thank you very much for your effort. Great work. I‘m wondering if there where any prepared plans for the captured areas that covered all these problems.

excellent, great you liked it! well, depends, for France: nobody expected such a quick victory, so I doubt it there. For Barbarossa, the Germans expected far more "loot" etc. and it was about "resource-grabbing" to continue the war against the UK & US, also to "convince" the UK that the war is lost and that they should negotiate.
